Have you heard of breathwork? Having a breathing practice is all the rage these days. But what is it, and why are people doing it? In this episode, we talk to Sophie Belle, breathwork facilitator and founder of the online breathwork studio, Mind You Club. Sophie works with goal driven women to help them manage their stress and overwhelm by incorporating breathwork practices into their daily routines, enabling them to feel calmer and lead happier lives.

Breathing hasn’t always got the respect it deserves, but the last two years of Covid has meant the practice of breathwork has gained momentum and entered mainstream wellbeing practices. There are now so many studies that show deep breathing is the easiest and most accessible way to balance the mind and body, thereby reducing your stress response.

Sophie tells us that over 70% of us don’t breathe properly. And as research shows the way we breathe directly affects our stress levels, it’s no wonder anxiety is the other global pandemic we face today. Chatting with Sophie, we can really see she walks her talk. She takes us through her journey from patient to practitioner after experiencing some very challenging times. She knows breathing works because it transformed her life for the better and she is now helping others to do the same. It was a joy to chat with Sophie on Time Talks and we have been inspired to incorporate breathwork into our daily schedule- it feels like receiving the most uplifting hug every day and afterwards you can handle anything.

Sophie offers a range of programmes, 1:1 sessions and live group sessions twice a year. Find out more about her services on the mindyouclub.com or @MindYouClub on Instagram and Facebook
